Jenny McCarthy’s Son Reports Mom for Texting & Driving

Jenny McCarthy‘s 12-year son, Evan reported his mother to the cops for texting and driving.

The former View co-host and future Mrs. Donnie Wahlberg described her son as a strict “rule follower” when sharing the anecdote on her new Sirirus Radio show Dirty Sexy Funny:

We’re driving in the car and of course I text and drive. He called the police on me and said, ‘My mom is texting and driving right now.’ True story.

The 41-year-old added that she immediately tossed her son’s cell phone out of the car window to avoid a run in with the cops.

And this isn’t the first time Evan has called in to the police either. McCarthy explains how he once panicked when she stepped outside for a cigarette and he couldn’t find her:

He called 911 and said, ‘I am alone in the house. My mom abandoned me’. I go back in the house and it’s 911 and they’re like, ‘Your child just called. Is there an emergency?’ I’m like, ‘What? No! Everything is fine’.

Strict rule follower? Or just a little anxious about his famously, controversial mother’s behaviour?

There’s no excuse for texting and driving…so I give the kid credit for doing that. He does sound a little “over-the-top” though..I’d be peeved if my kid called 911 because I had just stepped out the door and he couldn’t find me…and told the police I had abandoned him!

Haha. It’s kind of funny. I think he’s just a boy being a boy to get back at his mom for “something”. I’m pretty sure all kids call the police on their parents one time or another but he does seem old enough to know better now. Either way, good for him. Someone’s gotta keep Jenny on her toes.

Well the obvious thought here is that she shouldn’t be texting and driving. It’s good that he knows right from wrong. That being said, it’s a little much to call 911 and tie up lines because you think your mom is out of the house.
